Marianne

Marianne, I don't wanna wait
 The chapel's full, but the preacher's late
 There's flies around our cake, can you shut the door
 My daddy came from a different world
 I knew enough when his lips curled
 Nobody visits anymore
 I watched the faces for a long time
 I felt the poison to the water table line
 I know there would fall the grace of God
 Still feels good to curse the odds of knowing what to do
 With this old town and you

 LBJ didn't start the war
 He just limped home wondering what he lost it for
 I packed our bags, don't you hesitate
 We'll go north or we'll go west
 To a place we can reach for our better best
 Bring your mama's quilt and let 'em burn the rest
 I watched the faces for a long time
 I felt the poison to the water table line
 I know there would fall the grace of God
 Still feels good to curse the odds of knowing what to do
 Between this town and you
 ♪
 We'll be gone again, before it gets too far
 And this time, I won't look behind me
 We'll be gone again and I know what I'll do
 When it's time to choose between this town and you
 Between this town and you
 Between this town and you

 Marianne, I don't wanna wait
